Principle
of Duality
©
Kabalarian Writings
In
the past two issues of The Newsline, we have been
presenting the Kabalarian concept of life--what is meant
by the Principle of life and how the Principle can be
understood through an understanding of the duality of
life--Reason and reality.
Positive
and Negative
Positive and negative are further definitions of the
duality of being. Kabalarian teachings often use positive
and negative to differentiate between good and evil, but
on a more constructive level, the positive is the higher energy, the invisible part of life,
the intelligent aspect of life. The
negative is the lower or the finite expression of the
higher positivity but in an opposite form, just as the
image on a photographic negative is reversed. The
negative is the opposite of the positive, just as the
image in the mirror is the opposite of the object being
reflected.
Positive
and negative help us to understand the duality of being
of the Principle of life. There is a higher
invisible, and unknowable part of life that is the
constructive power of intelligence behind the visible
part, but the visible part should be the reflection of
intelligence in reverse, not from good to bad, but
merely from the invisible to the visible. For
example, if a very pretty woman looks into a mirror, the
reflection is not of an old hag. The reflection is
the backwards image of a beautiful woman. The
negative is not bad; it is just opposite or reversed.
Positive
and negative define the duality of the higher and lower,
where the higher is cause, the motivating, constructive
aspect of the duality of being, and negative is the
reflection of it. Negative is the realm of form
and dimension, the plane of reality which can be sensed,
measured, and understood.
Positive
and negative help define duality; reason of being and
reality of being define positive and negative a letter
further.
Reason
of Being
Reason of being is a term to explain the intelligence of
the Principle of life. The reason of being is the
intelligence that creates the harmony, the pattern, the
picture of balance within life itself. The reason
of being is that which makes being what it is. A
little seed has a power within it which is the reason of
being. It is the power of the reason of being that
makes the plant the being itself. The reason is
the intelligence that guides and controls and directs
the unfoldment of the being. The power in the seed
controls the germination, the sprouting, the roots, the
leaves, the buds, the flowers, and so on. Reason
is the positive expression of the duality of the
Principle and allows the Principle of life to express
intelligently with reason.
In
the concept of reason is incorporated such words as
logic, balance, and harmony. Reason is the
relativity of life that shows a consistent relationship
of logic.
We
could say logic of being, but Reason is
more definitive. Reason is not only logic, but has
a larger connotation meaning there is more power to
it. In other words, something may have a logical
arrangement that is reasonable, but the term reason
of being has a motivation which is expressed through
the reason and has a greater potential than just
logic.
In
other words, you may arrange something logically, such
as dots--one dot, two dots, three dots, etc. They
are arranged in a logical sequence, but the reason
behind the logical sequence is greater. The reason
has the potential of expressing something more through
the logical sequence.
In
the next issue of The Newsline, we will discuss
the Reality of being.

The
Right Way to Health
© Alfred J. Parker
A Happy Mind is a
Healthy Mind
I cannot stress too deeply the importance of one's
constructive mental attitude toward life. One gets
out of life what one puts into it; everything must be
seeded in different degrees. Always express happy
thoughts and keep an uncomplaining mind. A
complaining mind is a destructive one--destructive to
health and happiness. How easily we may be made
unhappy depends upon the weakness and ignorance of our
own minds. Happy thoughts expressed are like the
sunbeams that create warmth--that stimulate one's sense
of well being and make us feel happy. Give
happiness and you will receive it in return: it is
a natural phenomenon of a balanced and well-ordered
mind. Do not complain; instead seek the solution
to the problem, and then you can do something
constructive about it. This can best be
accomplished by forgetting self; too much false value is
placed upon self and personality, thus developing an
overrated and inflated ego that see all things in
proportion to its own ignorance.
There is no greater gift
we can bestow upon others than a happy smile and a
constructive thought of well being. To be happy
means that one must first have happiness within, and
this comes only through a balanced mind and
wisdom. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God
(understanding) and all these things shall be added upon
you." St. Matthew 6:33
The greatest word in all
languages is understanding. Learn to think about
life: the part we are intended to play in the
scheme of things. Learn to value the principle of
relationship: i.e., we are all One Life, One
Breath, and One God. Therefore, there is good and
God in all things. Look always for the good and
you will find it along with wisdom.

Happy-go-lucky, good natured, and expressive, these
people are usually the life of the party. They
love arguments and, having very imaginative and quick
minds, they find it very easy to hold their own in
debate, not always upon logic and reason, but because
theirs mind are too quick for the average person to pin
down to a particular issue. They can avoid issues
with great ease and ofttimes unobservably. They
are extremely emotional, and at times, can exhibit a
strong temper in which they can be extremely sarcastic
saying things for which they are later sorry.
However, there is one saving virtue: they can be
sorry very quickly and they are not afraid to say
so. They are so quick minded that there are time
when they can be somewhat intolerant of others and the
hurtful words are out before they have a chance to
really think about what they want to say.
They are very versatile people and express more along
the artistic and creative lines, desiring an occupation
where they are free to follow creative ideas in contact
with the public. They like people and have many
friends, although they lose interest in people very
quickly, desiring always to make new friends. They
crave change and variety. They love to talk and to
be the centre of attention and draw others to themselves
through their terrific sense of humour, their likable
personalities, and desire for amusement. They have
a good appreciation of the finer things of life, of
music, art, and drama. They love to sing even if
it is in the shower!
They are visionary and imaginative, but lack
concentration of thought and action. Thus, they do
not develop their talents to the degree they should
because of procrastination and lack of system.
They always mean well, but are too easily led,
particularly through the affections, to which they gladly
succumb. They love the element of surprise and
often act on the spur of the moment.
They could be happy in sales, as radio/TV
commentators, in acting, commercial art, journalism, as
public speakers, as interior decorators, or following any path
that requires creative and artistic ability. They
cannot stand monotony. They leave so many things
undone because of boredom. These people find it almost
impossible to conform to time and routine.
Through tension or over-indulgence in wrong foods,
they could experience skin or liver problems. They
love to eat and keeping the weight to a normal range is
sometimes a challenge.
Other names may help to offset the inconsistent and
unsystematic qualities; otherwise, many things are
started and not
completed.

Questions
1. I have
often pondered the remark that God suffers through the ineptitude of mankind, that he
suffers infinitely. What is the Kabalarian theory
upon this point?
Answer: To suppose
that God is an individuality with the capacity for
mental suffering is to place God in a secondary
position, one whom people can hurt if desired, a power
that has not the power to eliminate the evil that is
causing the suffering. Suffering is the result of
a lack of knowledge of the laws of nature; it
constitutes error and is the manifest effect of a basic
cause. If God is perfect wisdom or the essence of
Consciousness, then he is manifesting perfect
equilibrium; and where such is the case, there can be no
error or ignorance. Suffering is the expression of
the emotions; mental suffering is when the mind is
influenced by emotional forces that create discord and
then disturb the rhythm of one's life. If God is
the cause, he could hardly be influenced destructively
by effect.
God is Consciousness, not
an emotional manifestation individualized. To say
God suffers through the sins of humanity destroys the
very divinity of God. Only humanity suffers
because through lack of knowledge of a Spiritual
Principle. Kabalarian teachings never associate
chaos and suffering with Divine Consciousness.

Plan
with Confidence
© Kabalarian writings
All people live under the
principle called time, the positive side of which is
called the Cyclic Law, which represents time linked with
the law of growth, showing the varying phases of growth
of plant life. It follows growth from the seeding
to the plant's fruition, and shows the periods of time
that embrace each phase of growth and how each phase of
growth has its own specific gradation. The same
applies to each person's growth, not physically, but in
every phase of endeavour.
There are active periods
in everyone's cycle and times when one is forced to wait
for certain growth to take place; this is where patience
and waiting is the prime requisite, and there is nothing
one can do abut it. When we adjust our thinking
and actions to allow for quiet, restful periods, as well
as active ones, thus is patience a natural phenomenon, a
time of rest from labour. It is our continued
struggle against time that destroys patience and peace
of mind. In this case, the proper admonition
should be: Get in tune with nature; learn
to understand and apply our efforts to the Cyclic
Law.
